Arsenal transfer target Mykhaylo Mudryk has been spotted in Dubai, intensifying speculation that he could be set for a move to north London in January.
The Shakhtar Donetsk wide man has been pictured on the beach in the Gulf State where Arsenal are currently undergoing a mid-season training camp as they prepare for the Premier League getting back underway on Boxing Day.
There have been no official reports of a meeting between the player's representatives and the Gunners, but with plenty of reports linking the Ukrainian forward to Arsenal, it may be more than a coincidence.

The winger was pictured shirtless on the beach, appearing to have been playing beach volleyball with an unnamed associate while Arsenal continue their preparations for the resumption of the Premier League season.
An injury to Gabriel Jesus has left Arsenal with even more need to strengthen their attack and Mudryk's Champions League performances for Shakhtar mean that he is one of the most sought after young attackers in Europe.
Mudryk has emerged as the priority for Arsenal, with the club making contact with regards to a move for a player who has recorded ten goals and eight assists so far this season.
Three of those goals came in the Champions League, with the 21-year-old impressing as Shakhtar finished third in their group behind RB Leipzig and Real Madrid. This has given many of Europe's top clubs cause to eye the winger for whom a potential move could see Gabriel Martinelli play as a striker in the absence of Gabriel Jesus.
He would fit the club's policy of signing players under the age of 25 as well as linking well with established first-team left-back and Ukraine international teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko.
